Beauty Break

by

Over lunch break, instead of eating lunch or reading a book, I decided to head over to Sasa, located near Carrefour in Suntec City second floor. This morning I had noticed that my eyebrows were a mess, and I realized that it was time to pay a visit to Sasa‘s resident makeup artist for a […]

Mystery Girl

by

I started reading mysteries back in Grade School when I read that my fiction idol, Elizabeth Wakefield of the Sweet Valley Twins series, loved them. It ended up growing on me, and long after I stopped reading about Elizabeth, I still thrived on mysteries. As a child, my staple was Nancy Drew, Bobsey Twins, Hardy […]

Dead Stars

by

While emailing with a friend today, we somehow got round to the topic of her ex boyfriends. She told me about how her first boyfriend, many years ago, had asked her to elope with him before his grandmother could bring him to America for college. So they made plans, but she changed her mind and […]

Happy VaLEHntines Day

by

I organized a valentines exchange gift and potluck held at Chi’s and AA’s flat. Our lavish feast included the ultimate food for valentines – chocolate fondue and wine. I loved my gift from Chi which includes a massager (a yellow hand on a stick), a ticket to The Arena club, and a cute teddy bear […]

Mon Dieu, Fondue!

by

I was supposed to make leche flan for the valentines party, but when I walked into Carrefour Supermarket, I got attracted to the Chocolate Line heart-shaped fondue set which was on sale at less than half price for S$12 (regular price is S$29) with an additional packet of Pure Dark Couverture 53% cocoa chocolate. A […]

(Not) Just Noodles

What do you do when you have a sweet tooth that you want to satisfy but you know that you gotta eat a real meal to satiate your stomach’s basic needs and you only have 10sgd on you? You head over to Just Noodles. Despite the name, it does not serve just noodles, but all […]

Singaporean Barbeque

by

My officemate invited me to her cousin’s barbeque held in Costa Sands Resort. I asked her what occasion was being celebrated, since it was a week night and all. But there was no occasion, this was just something that Singaporeans like to do, that is, rent a chalet on a week night, throw some stuff […]

Red Mango Frozen Yogurt

by

I am a huge fan of yogurt, most especially of frozen yogurt. The best one I’ve come across so far is Red Mango. The tart frozen yogurt was first introduced in Korea but later became the rave in the United States. Singapore is lucky to have one store located in Suntec City Mall ground floor […]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button {Movie Review}

by

At the beginning of the year 2008, someone emailed a list of movies to watch out for. Right from the start, I got curious about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and emailed my friends that this was the #1 movie I would watch out for in said list. Late last year, I found out […]

Singaporean KTV

by

Today is my teammate Eileen’s birthday, and she invited me to go to the KTV with her and her friends from the office – Di from our team, and Su, How Yang and Michael from the neighboring cubicles. Funny coincidence that exactly a year ago, Jen, my teammate then, also had her birthday and we […]
